Originally posted by Kremithefrog: i have ATX. i know that first time i took my car up to high speed, i got that bad sulfur smell (and it lingered). so maybe i blew some buildup out, so maybe your mom's car needs that. but if it's an ATX, what is there to launching? i know you can "power brake" but that's not gonna decide a race. i know our little zetecs are slow off the line, just due to weight/hp ratio, but once moving, that's when you can suprise other cars.
I dropped from neutral at 2500. Succeeding in leaving behind neatly painted tire stripes on the ground. No sulfur smell though, but the transmission shifts extremely softly. From 2nd to 3rd takes roughly 5 or 6 seconds before the electronics realise it's time to shift. I've been told I need a Superchip, but does the slow downshift mean there's something wrong? Other than that, it's fine when the tach lives around 5-6 grand!
